>^|^^'HE ceremony of decorating the grii\es of the 
'yjii:^' Soklicrs and Sailors, Avho fell in the late war, 
^^Sf ^""^'^^ generally observed on the 30tli of May last, 
but the Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, in New 
Haven, thought best to defer the performance of that 
duty until the 4th of July, at which time the i)lan pro- 
posed and fully carried out, composed two distinct fea- 
tures, as follows : 

First, a public meeting, or " Memorial Service," which 
Avas held in Music Hall, on the evening of July 3d ; and 
secondly, a Procession on the morning of the following 
(Lay, to the several cemeteries in the city, for the purpose 
<if strewing flowers upon the graves of our fallen com- 
rades. 

' On the occasion of the Memorial Service, Music Hall 
was most elaborately and beautifully trimmed and deco- 
rated with flowers, evergreens and flags. Rev. Theo- 
dore D. WooLSEY, D. D., President of Yale College, 
presided. Music was furnished, in part, by about fifty 
members of the accomplished " Mendelssohn Society," 
of this city, Dr. W. D. Anderson, Conductor, accom- 
panied by a fine orchestra; and, also, in part, by a 
chorus, of 300 girls, from the public schools of the city, 
under the direction of Prof Benj. Jepson. Then was 
an address, by Rev. E. L. Clark, and a poem, by Rev.

AIE-"Mt. Vernou." 

Listen to the music stealing, 
Through the gently-waving trees ; 

Notes of sweet, yet tender sadness 
Trembling on the summer breeze. 

Bend with smiles, oh, azure heaven. 
While the green turf kindly waves, 

As we now with eyes all tearful, 

Crown \\\{\\ wreaths our soldiers' graves. 

Leaves will drooi) and tlowci's wither, 

All that's beautiful decay, 
But the memories wafted hither. 

Brighten with each coming day. 

Memories of our noble-hearted, 

WIio in life's bright early bloom. 
Died to save our stricken country. 

And with us have found a tomb. 

■Shed thy beams, oh sun ! benignly, 
Hang thy lamps, oh evening sky ; 



P K E r A C S . ^T 

tjiiard with love this grouud so holy, 
Where these sacred ashcB lie. 

-Ood iu heaven, be pleased to listen 

To our praj'er beside each grave, 
And with thy right arm eternal, 

For their sakes our country save. 

Araminta.

Grateful our hearts to-night, 
Ab Freedom's banner bright. 

Its Stars unfold ; 
Shining o'er lonely w^ays. 
Lighting their deeds with praise, 
Which in all coming days 

Will ne'er grow old. 

Cherished shall be their name. 
Who, when the summons came. 

Heard duty's call. 
What though their souls have fled, 
Why should we think them dead ! 
Who, with their glory, shed 

Honor on all. 

Proud be the names tliey beac, 
While we their triumph shart. 

And garlands bring. ; 



Yl P 11 E F A C E . 

Loud let our songs be lieard ; 

Joyful, yet sad, each word — 

All patriot hearts be stirred, 

Their praise to sing. 

10 BENEDICTION, - - Bev. Edwm Ilarwood, D. D. 

Tliere was also prepared and distributed tlirougliout 
the Hall, 2,000 eopies of a list of soldiers buried in the 
cemeteries m New Haven. This list comprised 214 
names, and was the basis of the list published herewith. 

On the morning of the 4th, the procession formed on 
the Green, and niarclied at 8 o'clocsls; in the folloAving 
order : 

Felsburg's Band, 

Post No. 17, G. A. R.— Col. D. R. Wright, P. C. 

Thirty-five war-worn battle Flags, of Connecticut Regiments, 
carried and escorted by members of the various regi- 
ments to wliich they belong, under com- 
mand of Gen. E. S. Greeley. 

Wooster Guard— Capt. McLikn. 

Carriages, with Flowers, and a large Cross bearing the inscription, 
" The Noble Dead, who sleep in Unknown GraA^es." 

Children from the Orphan Asylum, in two large wagons, 
each drawn by four horses. 

Citizens in carriages. 

The cemeteries were visited in the following order : — 
St. Bernard's, Evergreen and Grove Street. Every 
known soldier's grave was decked with flowers, and the 



p n E V A c E . \n 

exercises closed witli the erection of tiie large cross, near 
the entrance of the Grove Street Cemetery, 

The memorial exercises, in every part, avcj-o pro- 
nounced a most decided success, and many persons liav- 
ing desired the publication of Dr. Phelps' poem, a com- 
mittee was appointed to wait upon him to request a copy 
for that purpose, to ■which he very kindly gave his con- 
sent, and it was thought best to add thereto a corrected 
list of soldiers' graves, for future reference. 

It is hoped that this list is noAV complete, but if any 
errors or omissions are noticed, it is desired that they 
may be reported to the Committee of Publication, for 
correction at some future time. 

Respectfully, 

llEv. W. A. STxVPtT, 
C. M. LOOMIS, 
JOHN E. POYCE, 
CHAS. E. FOWLEPv, 

Publication Committee, Post JSfo. 17, G. A. P. 




■■^^^IS a Leautiful scene— 'tis a joy-liallnwed nieeluig, 
liS/ 'Mid the oiublems and symbols adorning the 1 fall ; 
The stan-y bright banuers our ghid vision greeting, 
Awakening response in tlie bosoms ot all. 

Sweet evergreen vines and bouquets of fair iiowers 
Enli\T.n the view and pour fragrance around, 

While melodies How as if fresh from tlie bowers 
Vvdiere angels and harpers their music resound. 

The orator's S])ell, through rich language of beauty, 
Shall steal o'er our souls with mysterious power ; 

And from sutlbring and tears, the behests of high duty 
insi)ire with a grandeur tliat chimes with the hour. 

TIow Htting the moment !— the eve ere the morning, 
Immortal in memories through ages of time ; 

Link.Ml lirni to the past as its brighte-l adonung. 
And forecasting the Future in promise suldime. 

■{) birth-day of Freedom ! New star that has guided 
To tlie Bethlehem gift for the Land of the West; 

Thy radiance afar through the natioris has glided, 
xVnd millions have hailed thee and hoped to be blest. 



10 p o E ir. 

We Avclcome and love tlice, bright day of our glory ! 

We love the grand history linked with thy vise ; 
Forever thou tellest the struggle and story 

Of the Fathers who reared the Republic we prize. 

Let the bells at clear sunrise ring clangorous pealing; 

Let loud booming cannon shake land and shake sea; 
Let the heart overflow with its deluge of feeling, 

As it throbs in the thought and the joy of the Free ! 

Not the common observance, or old celebration, 
A long-hallowed custom and still well approved ; 

We give to this birth-day a new coronation, — 
A memorial of flowers for our heroes beloved. 

The Grand Army moves in procession to-morrow. 
Its drum-beating muffled, and solemn its tread ; 

With a pall on its banners, with heart-throbs of sorrow, 
As it winds to the graves of our patriot dead. 

Ah ! thiidc ye, survivors of war-waste and battle. 

Though worn in the trenches or scarred in the strife. 

Of your comrades unflinching in shot-storm and rattle, 
As they sacrificed all for the National Life ! 

Aye, ye see them again in a beautiful vision. 

As farewells were spoken, as partings w^ei-e o'er. 

And together went forward, so grand in decision, 
Your Country to save, and its Flog to restore. 

At the close of the contest, your high task completing, 
In Rebellion subdued, and its cause overthroAvn, 

You were welcomed at home in a rapturous greeting, 
With glad music of bells, and love's liearticst tone. 



P o E :n[. 11 

How j^e missed your dear comrades, ne'er homeward 
returning; 
How ye thouglit of their valor, their fall, and the spot 
Where each brave form was sleeping; and tears of your 
mourning 
Dropt over a scene tliat can ne'er be forgot ! 

Well may ye recall them, those heroes immortal, 

That fell for the Flag, and Avere wrapt in its folds, 
And in broken ranks march to the grave's hallowed 

portal, 
And garland the urn which their precious dust holds. 

Let us all gather there, and with beautiful roses, 

With loveliest lilies of varying hue, 
Spread them over each mound where a soldier reposes. 

Our tears falling on them like Heaven's sweet dew. 

Hang wreaths on the marble, lay crowns on the granite, 
Place crosses and anchors o'er the slumbering breast, 

Find the humblest of graves and then gratefully span it 
With these beautiful symbols of glory and rest. 

Nor pass that lone hillock where a rebel is lying — 
For the prisoner and wounded had tenderest care — 

We pitied his treason, Ave soothed him when dying; 
In our fair floral gifts let his resting-place share. 

. And think of the tombs, though Ave never may kuoAv 
them, 
Where some of our bravest in quietude sleep ; 
And pray tliat kind hands Avith sweet garlands may 
strow them, 
While the ne'er-closing Eye shall the dust treasures keep. 



12 I' o E ^r. 

O beautiful task ! tliis Lestre^viug witli flowers 
Tlie graves of the heroes wlio died for tlieir laud I 

Sweet augels might come from their heavenly boAvere„ 
And smile as they aid with invisible hand. 

From the banks of Potomac to the Father of Waters^ 
By hillside and vale in the South and the West, 

Where army met army in battles and slaughters, 

Our l;)rave ones fought nobly, and sank to their rest. 

The Peninsular raid, thy sharp strife. Cedar Mountain, 
Tlie flerce held of Antietam, where Fredericksburg 
lies, 

The siege of Port Hudson, by Gettysburg's" fountain, 
Where through Shenandoah host after host flies : 

In the Wilderness charnel, in prisons terrific, 

The grand march to tlie sea, and the Petersburg strife, 

They struggled and fell — and their rest how pacific, 
While the country they saved has sprung forth to new 
life. 

Some sleep on the fields that had witnessed their valor, 
Some in sepulcher-gai'dens the nation reveres, 

And others returned, l)ut in silence and pallor, 

To be borne to their graves 'mid our sorrows and 
tears. 

To honor each hero by name were a pleasure — 

The name that henceforth bears the star-sign of 
death — ' 

His virtues unfold and his patriot-fame treasure, 
As to give to his tomb the memorial wreath. 



I'OKM. J3 

As memory recalls them, they rise up before us, 
In manliest form, and Avitli lovc-heamino- eye,' 

And their Lravc no])le spirits seem hovering o'er us, 
To revisit these; scenes from their home in the sky' 

There is Foot, grand in soul, who on History's pages., 
Shall live in a glory untarnished by time ; 

A liero, so Christly, with the great of all ages. 
His name is enrolled— his reward is sublime. 

There is Winthrop, whose genius unfolded so brightly ; 

There are IMerwin, and Farnam, and Peck, 
Who led forth their regiments so bravely and knightlv. 

When called by their country at Liberty's beck? 

There are Osborn, and Rockwood, true, noble and los- 
ing-, 
Wliat treasures for service, what prizes for death ! 
Tiiere are Linsley, and Taylor, and Dutton, forth mov- 

The choicest young heroes, their swords to un sheath. 

There are Chapman, and Cornwall, and Blake, gallant 
leaders. 

And Bishop, and Fowler, and Barrett beside ; 
How they rushed to the front to repel the seceders I 

How true to the Flag for Avhich nobly they died ! 

There is Walker, the Chaplain, who brought to his 
station 

The rich acquisitions that Learning bestowed, 
Whose teaching and prayers were a blest ministration, 

As for wounded and sick his deep sym^jathies flowed. 



14' r o E M.. 

Tliey sleep in tlieir graves tliat yvo brighten with flowerSj, 
Their memories hallowed by affection and tears ; 

While in lone hearts and homes shall the sorrowing, 
hours 
Still linger and brood as a i)all on the years, 

O well may ye mourn tliem, heroic and splendid, 

Early joy of your hearts, and oft pressed to your 
lips; 
For great was your grief when dear life-hopes were' 
ended, 
And the orb of your being went into eclipse ! 

Sad, sad was the burden of Death's dread achievement;. 

The mother, the widoAV, henceforth in their weeds : 
Our tears have oft flowed o'er young groups in bereave- 
ment, 

For heavier tlieir loss as time slowly recedes.. 

In God's glorious purpose, it was not untimely,. 
The sacrifice precious, tlie boon of dear life ; 

The cause that they died for has triumphed sublimely ;- 
A bright era of peace has risen out of dark strife. 

What benefits rich, in the vast generations 

That the years of the future shall grandly disclose, 

Will flow to our land, and tlie long-struggling nations, 
From these patriot deaths, from our sorrows and woes t. 

Now the Stars and the Sti-ipes, in more radiant glory, 
As the symbol of Freedom so proudly it Avaves, 

The world's homage attracts, and repeats the grand^ 
story 
Of a nation enfranchising millions of slaves !.

*God bless the old Flag ! i\r;iy it evermore flying- 
Its glorious heritage triumphantly claim, 

And ne'er 'neath the foot of a traitor be lying, 
Nor shelter a dastard to tarnish its fame ! 

While it floats in the breeze, o'er the land, o'er the 
billow. 

The joy of the myriads that under it dwell, 
The deeds of our warriors who made it their pillow, 

It shall, through the ages, victoriously tell ! 

We strew the green mounds that rise over their bosoms 
With the beautiful flowers of bright summer time ; 

But as long as plants thrive, till the latest rose blos- 
soms, 
Their niem(M-ial lives in a freshness sublime ! 

■'TIS said that the flowers are the letters of angels, 
The alphabet sweet of a language divine; 

Then, to those who can read them, they're blessed 
evangels 
From books of high deeds that immortally shine ! 

With an eloquence deep, each fair coronet floral 

Sweeps the chords of our love to the depths of the 
heart ; 
Thouo-h the voices are hushed, without utterance oral, 
They thrill the moved soul, and they bid the tear 
start. 

While patriots shall live, and the Republic so ample, 
Your work and your memory never shall die, 

O glorious dead ! In our Liberty's temple 
Your fame is engraved on its arches so high ! 



1^ r o E Jr. 

There is sacredncss liere — and remembrance long- lingers 
Around tlie encliantment and rapture to-niglit — 

This foir floral display— as if seraphs' soft fingers 
Had touched it with beauty celestially bright. 

Let the scene be repeated, an annual story ; 

Let pure lilies cluster o'er patriots' sod, 
While the years pass away, and to loftier glory 

Our country ascends with the favor of God !
